I live in Tampa, attended USF grad school. Barely a blip on the news. It is unfortunate but the poor areas of Tampa around USF are a high crime area. There is so much wild crime in Tampa, surrounding areas, and Florida in general that there is a really short memory as the news will have a spectacular shoot out, alligator fight to the death, fire, deadly highway crash, or old people scam nightly. The news is like a highlight tv show of crime.
USF wants to win at all costs and takes its notes from FSU, UF, & SEC.
